Shared Hits
by SametHope
Shared Hits makes damage taken by one player apply to the other active players on the same server, through a gamerule.
What it does
The mod adds a gamerule that, when enabled, shares the damage a player takes with the other active players. Each player receives the same damage source, attack type, direction and amount, so one hit lands on everyone at once. The option is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it works on single-player integrated and LAN servers as well as dedicated servers.
Only players in survival mode are affected. Spectators and creative mode players are ignored by the sharing. The gamerule is changed with operator permission level 2 or higher, the same way as other gamerules. Shared Hits is published for Fabric and runs on Minecraft 1.21.4, and it works alongside vanilla damage handling, shields, knockback resistance and status effects. The author describes the mod as a simple Fabric mod that also syncs health between players.
Shared Hits is released under the MIT License and is open source. The source code and issue tracker are public. Latest Fabric file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.4, published 2025-03-02, the same day as the first release.

How it compares
Health = XP is also a Fabric server-side mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source, but it links health to experience instead of sharing damage. JetSet! Hits is a client-side only option for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source, so only the client needs it. PvP Gamerule covers 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric and Quilt and is open source under the MIT License.
